Rage RN

I have been in MICU for the past several months as a nurse tech. Since I grad in May the hospital does an interview for new NGs and was offered and accepted a position in MICU as a nurse. We have a 3 month orientation program in place although the un...

LoriLou.... without a doubt she is overwhelmed. Regardless of med-surg experience or not ICU is known for being a very stressful location. I have no doubt that some new grads should start in med-surg first and then progress into ICU, that said, I als...

Personally I think that ANY manager that would give you the option of a NT or an RN is being ridiculous. If that were the case then I'd be very concerned about their budgets because they have to be running very tight and actually too tight. Which the...

I'm in my last semester at NS and just got a PCT job in MCC at a level 1 hospital. Including myself, there will be 3 total PCT's on a 30 bed floor. This hospital will hire new grads into ICU only if they PCT on the floor first. This is pretty much a ...

First of all, hello to all that reads this. [background] To begin, my fiancee lives on Vancouver Island and her mother (73 yo) lives in the same house. Since I graduate in May 2008 and want to pursue a advanced degree as a CRNA I need to have 2 years...

Thank you for the information. It was that level of specifity that I was looking for. The college I attend requires a physical and a background check via the FBI before you can even attend the nursing program. I'm not sure about the amount of hours o...

Thank you for your information, from what I understand the providences have their own aspects of nursing requirements and for testing just like the states do. Which is the reason I mentioned British Columbia in the beginning. I have already gone to t...

Check with the local hospitals, most of the ones I have dealt with will hire you as a CNA after your first semester in a BSN program if that is your desire. But I agree with Queen, if money is the pressing issue then don't make matters worse by addin...

Interesting since this government site http://www.nh.gov/nhes/elmi/licertoccs/nursarnp.htm defines ARNP as: Description An Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) is a Registered Nurse (RN) qualified to function independently. May perform physi...

Here is the link to Barry University: http://www.barry.edu/anesthesiology/curriculum.htm Here is the information:Upon successful completion of the curriculum, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination for nurse anesthet...

I know that in Florida if you have a CRNA you can sit for the NP exam license. No more schooling required.

As a soon to graduate student I would like to suggest that you find the area of nursing you want to practise and mention it to any of your instructors. By doing so it's possible that they will give you the clinical sites that would best fit your desi...

Tried the pm thing and it doesn't work............so CRNA2007 if you could pm me then I'll be glad to receive a copy as well, thanks in advance

Hey Guys, I just completed a rotation in OR with a great CRNA named Mark who really went into the teaching mode and showed me some amazing aspects of Anesthesia. Since CRNA is and has been my focus since I started NS, his tutorage was deeply apprecia...

Thanks Jen, I was pm'ed and received a site called CRNAstuff.com that had what I was looking for. But I appreciate your response.

Before I tell you my idea, let me explain why I came up with the idea. I'm a senior in NS and grad in May. We have been given etiologies of all the major disease and disorders, we have been taught assessments, and normals. We have been taught about d...

Sorry Greg I should have said opiate..........I just got off a 12hr clinical rotation in ICU when I responded, where I had to attend to a girl that was mauled by 2 dogs, unfortunately we lost her......should have given it more thought. RNNJ I didn't ...

RNNJ, I appreciate what your saying. And I am focusing on my ICU experience which is why I am also preparing to take the CCRN certification, so that I will be ready when my 1500 bedside hours are up. But at the same time I know where my weaknesses ar...

iiright.......where is the thread, someone stole the thread................ break out the torches again.

As the villagers gather with torches shouting words of unfathomable blasphemy "The monster lives"

I went through ob/gyn clinical last semester. I had an advantage over you though, I'm 52 years old, and most women don't mind "older guys" in the room. The problem isn't so much with the staff or the docs but with the patient's not wanting "men" in t...

You didn't mention Parkwest or Staint Mary's.............Baptist was just bought by Staint Mary's. I'm currently in NS right now and grad in May. I've done clinicals in all mentioned except Blount County. It really just depends on what your looking f...
